The long-established lacquerware shop "Kuroeya"
We set up a shop right next to Minamizume in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, and interviewed Kuroeya, a long-established lacquerware specialty store that has been around since the Edo period.
Founded in 1689 (1689), Tokugawa shogunate was the fifth generation Tsunayoshi was the general. It seems that this year will be 333 years old.
I asked you about the knowledge of a long-established store.
One of the knowledge is that the 10th Sonzaemon "The profitable job is to make a competitor and lose money." It is Honto's business to make unprofitable work profitable by making your own credit efforts, and this is a long-lasting work. "
I thought it was the starting point that I always responded to changes in the times.
Recommended souvenirs in Chuo-ku
Introducing "Tameuchi Ashuri-style soup bowl fushiko"
The name of "Tameuchi Akari-type soup bowl fushiko", which appears as a souvenir recommended by Chuo-ku of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, is difficult to read!
Thank you very much. He reads "Take, Uchi, Shu, Yuri, Gata, Shiruwan, Nadeshiko".
The name represents four things, the first vermilion in the pool is color, the outside is pool, and the inside is vermilion. The next lily shape is an open shape like a lily flower at the top. The soup bowl is as the name implies. The last stroke is painted with "Nadeshiko" lacquer. That's right. It looks like the name of a cultural property.
Lacquerware that can be used easily for everyday use is made, and the part that looked black is called a `` reservoir '', and by applying transparent lacquer after painting vermilion, it is unique to deep lacquer It will be a beautiful color. I was able to notice it for the first time when I picked it up and looked at it.
After applying medium-painting, overcoating, etc. to the woodwork of the wood powder synthetic product, the strokes are drawn by hand one by one, so there is no exactly the same thing. The price is 2,750 yen (tax included) for lacquerware. ※As of June 2022
Sale is being held
Until Wednesday, June 15, a sale called Kuroeya Lacquerware City is being held.
The concept this time is "portable". He seems to have a lot of lunch boxes, chopstick boxes, and Koshu Inden, a special feature of the production area, where you can enjoy even if you carry lacquer products.
＊This photo is a "portable" item that I was worried about during the interview, but be sure to check with the store to see if it is eligible for sale.
Sale period from June 6 (Mon) to 15 (Wed)

What about Mr. Kuroeya in the future?
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, many foreigners came to the store referring to articles on Kuroeya introduced in guidebooks in foreign languages, and some of them purchased lacquerware that could not fit into empty suitcases.
Since the acceptance of tourists from overseas has been expanded since June, I hope that many inbound customers will return and support Kuroeya and Japanese lacquerware.
